Welcome to the artwork of artist Sarah Rintoul.
This website presents a few examples of my artwork in 3 loose themes to reflect the interest and experience that inspired them:
- Garden, Art & Architecture
- Domestic, Farm & Wild
- Endeavour, Leisure & Culture
My day-to-day experience shapes the natural course and range of my artwork. At times this has resulted in exhibitions, at other times my work and creative skills have been applied to projects that enrich a given setting or assisted others with their own endeavour, leisure, or cultural pursuits.
Living in the Shropshire Hills, I am surrounded by stunning countryside, farmland, gardens, historic architecture, market towns and a variety of places to visit, each with their related endeavour and own way of living. Currently I am developing features for a garden of 3/4 of an acre that is being restored and developed in stages.
Since 2003 my work often includes combining mosaic of natural stone tesserae with sculptural forms and architectural detail to produce work that can be:
- Wall hung – Framed or unframed
- Wall mounted
- Free standing
My work process allows the time needed to combine these different art forms in a creative way. It aligns with seasonal changes in light and climatic conditions for working outside with general preparations and the initial development of more complex ideas taking place during the winter.
I enjoy the tactile nature and appeal of organic forms, colours and textures and how the play of light and shade bring them to life. The techniques I use have this in mind to produce great visual effects and work that is original, unique, and evolving.
In terms of formal education, I graduated in 1992 with a BA (Hons) Degree in Fine Art and Design specialising in sculpture with a two-year module in dramatic presentation. Prior to that I attended Cambridge College of Art and Technology to complete an Art Foundation Course to study sculpture, painting, and design.
